LSO Live will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2010 and the label's first release of the year features Prokofiev s spectacular score for the ballet Romeo & Juliet conducted by Valery Gergiev. Gergiev is a tireless champion of Prokofiev's music. In 2004 he conducted a complete cycle of the composer's symphonies with the LSO in London. The performances which were recorded by LSO Live and released by Philips collected a Gramophone Award. Shortly afterward, Gergiev became Principal Conductor of the orchestra and spent much of 2008 and 2009 touring Prokofiev's symphonies with the LSO in Europe, Japan and the USA.
